This is a series of improvisational acts involving objects in the bedroom during the pandemic. I have always loved improvisation and cherish makeshift solutions. During the lockdown period, utilizing the available resources became somewhat obligatory. The intention is to offer a different perspective on how we can form new, light-hearted relationships with the objects around us during the down time.
